PREFACE. 


Ill  the  jirofont  state  of  uiyc!olo,<2;ii'a)  kii()wle(l,ii'e,  the  elaHsiliention 
and  description  oi'  tlie  species  of  Xortii  American  Pyrenoniycetes  is 
attended  witli  many  diiliculties;  eliiof  among  whicli  is  the  fact  tliat 
many  ol'  th(!  piililishcd  diagnoses  are  too  iinjierfect  to  enahle  one  to 
recotfiii/.e  the  species,  of  wliich  many  ol"  the  types  are  either  lost  or 
practically  inaccessilile.  An  examination  of  the  Schwcinitzian  Herha- 
riiim,  at  the  Academy  of  Natural  Sciences  at  rhiladeljihia,  reveals  the 
fact  that  about  two  hundred  of  the  most  valuable  sficcies  descril»cd  in 
Schweinity/  Synopsis  of  North  American  Fungi  arc  not  rei)resented  in 
the  lierbfirium  at  all,  and  that  many  of  tlie  s])eciniens  still  remaining 
are  too  meager  or  too  imjierfcct  to  be  of  much  service.  Coming  to  the 
s[)ccics  described  by  Berkeley  &  Curtis,  the  case  is  no  better,  but,  as 
far  as  specimens  are  concerned,  even  worse,  the  ty])es  being  entirely 
beyond  the  reach  of  the  ordinary  student.  Our  knowlr^dge  of  these 
species  is  derived  from  the  brief  descriptions  in  Grevillea  and  the 
sup])lomentary  notes  by  Dr.  M.  C.  Cooke,  who  has  also  examined  and 
determined,  l)y  coni])arison  with  the  original  types,  many  of  the  species 
included  in  the  present  work.  'Wo  are  also  indebted  to  Di-s,  Rehin, 
Winter,  and  Saccardo  for  the  identilication  of  many  doubtful  species; 
Ijiit  al)ove  all  to  the  many  collectors  who  have  furnished  abundant 
material  from  all  parts  oi"  the  country,  thus  making  it  possible  to  give 
ail  approximately  comjjlete  synopsis  of  the  North  American  species  of 
this  extensive  Order.  The  names  of  these  contributors  ajipear  in  con- 
nection with  the  species  they  have  furnished.  The  name  of  Kavcnel 
is  attached  to  most  of  the  sj)ecies  collected  by  him  ami  described  by 
Berkeley  A:  Curtis  in  Grevillea;  and  Schweinitz  or  "'Schw."  to  his 
species  publisheil  in  the  Synopsis  of  North  American  Fungi.

Tlio  system  ol'  diissilicittioii  iidoptod  (as  stated  elsewhere)  is  iiiaiidy 
that  of  Di'.  Winter  in  liahenhorsfs  Enjptnganien  Flora  ((pioted 
mostly  in  this  vol.  as  "Die  I'ilze";.  Tiie  system  dillers  from  that  of 
Saccnrdo  in  the  Syllo^e,  mainly  in  the  dift'erent  <iron|)in<f  ol"  the  jienei-a. 
in  this  respect  standinn'  intermediate  between  the  Saccai'dian  system 
and  that  adopted  l)y  Cooke  in  his  ''Synopsis  Pyrenomycetum." 

As  a  j^nide  to  the  coricet  j)roninK'iati(m.  the  long  sound  of  the 
accented  vowel  in  generic  and  si)eeiric  names,  is  indicated  by  thegiave 
accent  ( ^ )  and  the  short  sound  by  the  acute  ( '). 

The  name  of  the  author  first  jtuldishing  any  species  has  been 
retained,  placed  in  pai'cnthesis  in  case  the  species  has  lieen  removed 
from  the  genus  in  wiiich  it  was  lirst  placed.  The  name  after  the 
parenthesis  has  been  omitted  as  too  cumbersome  and  unnecessary. 
The  piratical  practice  ol'  omitting  the  first  name  and  substituting  the 
second  in  its  place  can  not  be  too  strongly  comlemned. 

In  the  case  of  old  anil  well  known  species  we  have  adopted  the 
jmblished  diagnoses  supplemented  with  notes,  in  cases  where  our 
ol)servations  do  not  entii-ely  agree  with  the  ^dblished  characters. 

The  measurements  (in  centimeters,  cm.,  millimeters,  mm.,  and 
mici'omillimeters,  //,)  have  all  been  made  with  the  same  optical  com- 
bination and  with  the  same  micrometrical  scale.  They  agree  gener- 
ally with  those  given  I)y  Saccardo,  Kai'sten,  and  Winter,  but  are 
mostly  less  than  those  given  by  Cooke,  so  that  it  seems  probable  that 
the  scale  we  have  used  dillers  somewhat  from  his.  In  the  measure- 
ments of  asci,  the  length  of  the  spore-bearing  part  (p.  sp.)  has,  in  most 
cases,  been  given. 

The  illustrations  by  our  much  lamented  friend,  F.  W.  Andei-son, 
do  credit  to  his  artistic  talent,  but  cause  us  to  legret  that  a  career  of 
such  brilliant  i)ronuse  should  end  so  soon.  The  figures  were  made 
from  actual  specimens  carefully  examined  and  accurately  drawn,  to 
show  the  more  salient  characters  of  the  genera. 

The  fungi  of  Greenland,  enumerated  by  Professor  Rostrup  (see 
page  32)  have  been  included,  as  it  is  proba])lc  that  most  of  the  species 
found  in   that  great  continental  island,  will  also  be  met  with  in  the 


Ill 

iiortlieni  part  of  Hntisli  America  and  Alaska,  and  in  tlio  elevated 
reu'ioiit^  al(jn.t?  tlie  Roeky  Mountain  chain  (nrtlier  Sontli. 

Tlie  Krysiplieic  in  this  Vol.  (pp.  2-30)  have  lieen  eIalK)nitcd  and 
prei)ared  \>y  Profossoi-  'l\  .1.  I5uii'ill,  of  the  University  of  Illinois,  who 
wishes  heie  to  express  his  tliaid<s  lor  eontrilmtions  of  iiinch  service 
mostly  specimens,  to  the  followin<r  named  li'entlemen,  viz.:  F.  W.

S.  M.  Tracy,  Wni.  Trclease,  A.  I  J.  Seymour,  and  (!eo.  P.  Clinton. 

Wo  regard  it  as  extremely  ibrtniiate  that  Piof.  I>.  was  willinj>-  to 
undertake  the  editinu'  of  the  Enj><lphe(n,  as  his  previous  studies  in 
this  dillicult  Family  have  made  him  sjiecially  conii)etent  to  do  the 
work  thorouii'hly. 

The  index  of  uenera  and  sj)ccies  at  the  end  of  the  volume  is  the 
work  of  our  friend  W.  C.  Stevenson,  Jr.,  to  whom  we  are  already

This  oi'dcr  iiicliidcs  tlntso  funtii  in  which  the  hyiiiciiinin  is  iuclosod 
in  a  siili.uloltosc  cnvi'Iopc  or  shull  (pci'ithcciinii).  wiiii'li  cither  I'cninin? 
ch)sc(l  or,  more  f>:oncralIy,  is  pierctMl  ul)o\c  with  a  small,  round  opcniiiir 
(ostiohnn)  winch  i.s  often  more  or  less  prolonu'cd,  so  as  to  form  a  short 
tuhe  oi"  Iteak. 

From  the  knver  jiart,  and  olten  Irom  the  sides  of  the  itnier  surface 
of  the  |ierithecium,  si)rin<i'  numei-ous  ti'ansjtarent.  membranaceous  sacs 
(asci)  containiiiv,"  minute,  ffloli(xse,  oblonjr,  cylindrical  or  thread-like 
liodies  (s)ioridia). 

Between  the  asci  arise  usually,  slench-r,  fdilorm  lutdies  (para[)h-- 
yscs)  whos(!  oHice  is  not  well  understood.     They  have  liceii  suji]»osed 
to  he  alxirtivc  asci. 

TIio  perithecia  are  either  developed  directly  from  the  mycelium, 
separate  and  distinct  fi'oni  each  other  (simple),  or  arc  more  or  less  im- 
hcdded  in  a  carnose,  coriaceous  or  carlionaceous  substance  called  the 
sti'oma  (compound).  The  stroma  assumes  vaiious  foims,  ell'used,  pul- 
vinate,  tubercular  or  vertically  eIont;ated,  cylin  Irical  or  dendroid. 

Often  the  stroma  consists  of  the  slightly  altercil  substance  of  the 
wood  or  Itark. 

'I'hc  surface  of  the  stroma  before  the  devoloi>ment  of  the  peri- 
thecia is  often  clothed  with  a  hyphomycetous  growth,  producing  aerial 
spoies  (conidia).  Also,  accompanying  or  jjreceding  the  ascigcrous 
pci'ithecia,  are  others  (spermogonia  or  pycnidia)  [»roducing  in  their 
hymenial  cavities  sjiore.s  (sporules)  boi'ne  on  pedicels  and  not  in  asci. 

The  conidia,  spci-mogonia  and  pycnidia  are  supposed  to  be  gener- 
icallj'^  connected  with  the  ascigerous  perithecia,  but  this  matter  is  not 
yet  well  understood. 

Dr.  Winter,  whose  svstematic  arrangement  we  have  mostlv 
adopted,  divides  th*^  Pyrenomycetes  into  the  ibllowing  suborders. 

1.  PERISPORIACE.E.  Perithecia  with  the  ostiolum  obscure  or 
wanting,  coriaceous  or  brittle-carl »onaceous,  opening  irregularly,  gen- 
erally without  any  stroma,  but  mostly  seated  on  a  well  developed, 
superficial  mycelium. 

2.  HVPOCREACE.'E.  Perithecia  with  an  ostiolum,  and  with- the 
stroma  (when  present)  carnose  or  membi-anacco-cai'nose,  and  briglit 
colored  (yellow,  red,  A'c). 


3.  SPH.ERIACK.ti.  roritliceiii  mostly  with  a  distinct  (»stioliiiii, 
of  vnrioiis  odiisistciicc,  Uiit  not  ciiriiosc  or  ii.c'iiilti'iiiiiictMM'iiriiosc.  Iti-own 
or  Itliicix.  Slroiua.  wiicn  picsont.  not  rai'nosc,  dnrli  colored  outside, 
and  ol'ttJii  white  within. 

4.  I)()THIDE.\('K.t].  .^tionia  always  present,  not  fleshy,  Idack, 
or  dark-c<dored.  Perithocia  mostly  reduced  to  mere  cells  in  the 
stroma,  und  not  separaldo  from  it.     Ostiolum  always  present.

lisiustoria.  Conidia  simple,  colorless,  cylindrical,  oval  or  ovate,  liornc 
one  above  the  other,  on  erect,  simple,  septate,  colorless  hypha*.  Peri- 
thocia seated  singly  on  the  mycelium,  memltranaceous,  indehiscent, 
globose  or  sometimes  dej)ressed,  at  first  colorl(»ss,  then  yellow,  becom- 
ing dark  blown  or  black  when  mature,  bearing  various  thi'ead-like, 
radiating  appendages.  Asci  arising  from  the  Itase  of  the  perithecium. 
delicate,  thin-walled,  colorless,  oblong,  oval,  ovate  or  suborbicular, 
usually  i)edicellate,  containing  2-8  sporidia,  which  arc  simple,  color- 
less, granular,  oblong  or  oval. 

The  Et't/Htpheie,  commoidy  known  as  "white  mildews"  or 
"  blights,"  may  be  easily  recognized  by  the  white,  dusty  or  web-like 
coating  they  ibrm  on  the  leaves,  or  other  succulent  parts  of  many  com- 
mon plants.  They  freijuently  grow  throughout  the  summer,  but 
usually  oidy  reach  their  full  development  in  the  fall,  when  the  j)eri- 
thecia,  or  little  fruit-balls,  may  be  seen  by  good  unaided  eyes,  scattered 
over  the  whitened  surface  of  the  leaves. 

The  very  abundant  mycelium  consists  of  numerous  slender,  white 
or  colorless,  septate  threads  that  branch  widely,  and  extend  over  the 
leaf  in  every  direction,  freiiuently  crossing  and  interlacing.  These 
threads  are  usually  pressed  close  to  the  host,  but  they  do  not  them- 
selves enter  it.  They  send  out  at  intervals,  however,  short,  sj)ecial 
branches  called  haustoria,  that  penetrate  the  epidermal  cells,  serving 
for  the  secure  attachment  of  the  fungus,  and  j)robably  also  for  its*

It  is  said  to  l»e  "  lohed,"  in  the  former,  "not  lol)ed."

cut  olf  usually  swells  a  little,  and  at  length  Aalls  away  as  a  matuie 
conidium.  JJcfore  this  ha])pens,  however,  other  constrictions  have 
taken  ))lace  below,  thus  forming  a  chain  of  nearly  mature  conidia 
adhering  end  to  end.  Under  favorable  conditions  they  germinate 
(|uickly,  .<<ending  out  a  slender  tube,  vhich,  on  the  jn-oper  host,  soon 
develops  into  a  new  u'ycelium.  They  are  jiroduced  in  innnense  num- 
bers tlii'oughout  the  growing  season,  and,  as  they  are  very  light  and 
easily  carried  liy  t\w  wirul,  they  serve  for  the  rapid  increase  and  wide 
distribution  of  the  parasite. 

The  perithecium  remains  on  the  fallen  leaves  over  winter.  It  is 
not  provided  with  a  mouth  or  ostiolum  of  any  kind.  The  contained 
asci  and  sporidia  only  escape  on  its  decay  in  the  spring. 

Delicate  membranaceous  conceptacles,  other  than  the  perithecia. 
are  sometimes  found  in  connection  with  the  mycelium  of  the  Erynl- 
jihcie.  They  are  thin-walled,  and,  on  sliglit  pressure,  rupture  irregu- 
larly, emitting  immense  nund)ers  of  minute,  oblong,  nucleated  spores, 
immersed  in  a  gelatinous  fluid.  They  were  noticed  l)y  Cesati,  in  con- 
nection with  the  grajic  mildew.  Sujiposing  them  to  l»e  independent 
organisms,  he  named  them  Aiuj)eIomycei<  qn/sqvalis,  and  specimens 
were  published  under  that  name  as  No.  1609  in  Rabenhorst's  Herba- 
I'ium  Mycologicum.  Later  they  were  iiaWed  Cicinobolnn  JlorentiiniK 
by  Ehreubcrg,  and  liyssocysfis  textilis  by  Riess.      Tulasne,  Mold. 


jiiul  others,  fiiKliiig  that  those  coneeptaeles  were  liorno  on  the  same 
iiiyeeliuiu  as  the  ooiiidia  and  jierithceia,  naturally  conehuled  that  they 
were  oi"'M8  of  the  same  plant,  and,  (roni  their  analoiiy  to  certain 
asexual  i  roductive  bodies  in  allied  ,irron|ts  of  the  Asconnjeetcti,  called 
them  pycnidia,  and  the  niinnte  l»odies  they  contain,  srtylosporea  or 
pycnidiospores.  This  is  still  the  accepted  Itclier  of  many  botanists. 
De  Ikry  (Morph.  and  Thys.  der  l^ilze,  111, }.}).  63-75,  TaCeln  VI,  VI  I), 
shows  that  the  jtycnidia  instead  ol'  being  reproductive  organs  ol'  the 
Erysiphc,  are,  in  reality,  the  IVuctilication  ol'a  I'ungus  that  is  jiai-asitic 
on  the  Eryslphe.  lie  calls  it  CIchiobolus.  CemtiL  and  gives  numerous 
(igures  showing  its  delicate,  septate  mycelium,  develojiing  within  the 
mycelial  threads  of  the  Eryi<ipfH',  and  sending  up  branches  which,  by 
repeated  division,  foi-ni  the  cellular  wall  of  the  pycnidium. 

There  is  much  confusion  in  i-egard  to  the  nomenclature  of  this 
group.  The  earlier  authors,  with  poor  magnifiers  or  none  at  all,  made 
meager  descriptions  of  their  supjiosed  species,  for  which  I'oason  it  is 
often  impossililc  to  determine  from  Iheii'  writings  what  they  had  in 
hand.  I  Tost  jihints  ai'e  not  so  nnich  of  a  guide  here  as  in  most  cases 
for  parasites,  though  many  specific  names  have  been  jtroposed,  it  seems 
solely  upon  the  ol)served  hal)ilat  of  the  fungus.  In  what  follows,  an 
earnest  endeavor  has  lieen  made  to  identiiy  and  describe  true  species 
wherever  they  grow.  Tlx'  l>ullelin  of  the  Illinois  State  ]jaI)oratory

si)ecies.

The  distinction  between  tiie  two  species  in  (juestion  is,  however,

On  upjicr  jtai'ts  of  tlie  twigs  of /*?//•««  Maltis,  especially  in  nurs- 
eries of  young  trees,  and  ujton  the  suckers  from  old  ones.  Not  appar- 
ently very  frecpient  but  exceedingly  al)undant  at  times,  Mississippi 
Valley,  and  probably  eastward. 

This  exceedingly  interesting  species  has  not  been  well  separated 
from  PodoHphmni  Oj'.yncdnthm  which  occui-s  on  the  same  host  and  to 
casual  observation  has  nuTbh  the  same  ai)pearance.  In  our  species  the 
tii)s  of  the  I'trge  ai)pendages  are  occasionally  forked  (once  or  even 
slightly  twice),  which  again  may  have  been  confusing.  But  these 
vagiu',  stiff  branches  are  totally  unlike  the  dichotomous  divisions  of 
PodoupJuvra,  and  otliei'wise  the  s})ecies  are  very  distinct.  The  tuft 
of  short,  interwoven,  rudimentary  ai)})eiidages,  like  a  dense  cluster  of 
short  loots,  is  a  very  characteristic  mai-k. 

There  is  still  some  doubt  as  to  the  name.  Evidently  Enjsiphe 
JTdJf,  Moug.  usuallv  given  as  a  varietv  of  ErysipJie  adn?ica,  (Fi'lc^ 
Syst.  Myc.  Ill,  p. '245,  Wallr.  P^lora"  Germ.  IV,  p.  755,  A'c.)  is  a 
different  thing,  but  Duby's  description  (Botanicon  Gallicum  I,  j).  869) 
so  Ihr  as  it  goes,  is  sufficiently  correct  for  our  species.  Enjslphe 
Mall,  Duby,  in  Roumeguere's  Fungi  Galilei  Exsiccati  is  a  Sphcu- 
I'otheva,  and  seems  to  be  the  same  as  our  plant,  though  the  specimen 
examined  was  insufficient  foi'  satisfactory  comparison.  It  is  moreover 
scarcely  possible  that  this  host  should  have  a  solely  American  parasite 
of  this  kind  upon  it,  hence  the  preference  given  in  the  nomenclature.

depressed  stroma  {Tiiberculariu),  forming  groups  1-2  mm.  diam.,  at

on  Morns,  Melia,  etc.,  South  Carolina  (Ravenol),  and  on  Morns,  New

In  this  family  the  number  of  septa  in  the  sporidia,  at  different 
stages  ftf  their  growth,  is  unusually  variable;  the  color  also  run.s  from 
hyaline,  through  various  shades  of  brown,  so  that  these  two  eharactei's, 
uuaccomijanied  as  they  ai-e,  by  any  distinctive*  vegetative  peculiariti<!s.

many  years  ago.  The  name  is  badly  chosen  and  misleading,  for  the 
surface  of  the  stroma  in  all  the  specimens  (unless  it  l)e  the  Potsdam

are  very  noticeal)le  in  a  vertical  section  even  in  the  young  i)lant,  while

<f|ol)ose,  ascigerous  stroma  has  begun  to  appear.  In  the  mature  state, 
the  lil)rous  inner  substance  and  the  horizontal  mcndtranes  disappear 
to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  and  leave  the  stroma  more  or  loss  hollow, 
<o  that  it  may  be  easily  crushed  with  the  fingers,  but  in  D.  convent rica 
the  inner  substance  remains  firm  and  is  also  of  a  darker  color.

at  first  entirely  enclosed  in  a  common  carlionaceous  stroma  (see  PI.  38, 
fig.  2)  from  which  they  finally  emerge  separate  and  distinct.  The

tV  IJauj,  Xew  Jersey  (Torrey),  West  Chester,  Pa,  (Fergus). 

The  fungus,  as  found  by  Mr.  Ran,  grew  on  the  sides  ol' an  old 
wooden  jaimp  standing  in  a  well.  Where  th(>  long,  rhizoniorphoid 
stems  come  in  contact  with  the  wood,  they  an;  attached  to  it  (lor  sup- 
port, apparently)  i)y  a  thin,  felt-like,  black  subiculum,  and  at  these 
points,  adjacent  stems  are  oi'ten  connected  by  anastomosing  blanches 
which  arc  sterile,  only  the  free  portions  of  the  stems  i)earing  peri-

which  is  slightly  flesh-colored,  becoming  light  yellow. 

On  jieach  pits,  Carolina  (Sehw.). 

The  length  of  the  stem  varies  according  to  the  depth  at  which  the 
pits  are  buried  in  the  soil — sometimes  6  inches  long.  The  i^pece.  in
